I personally won't, but plenty would - That's why I am curious, because for such a plan, the clause for failing repayment on time is a rather iffy penalty, so if it's not for good reason and a certain degree of confidence on being able to pay it back (e.g. tenant will be late on their rent? Salary delayed by 2 weeks for some reason? All products have been completed and just need a one time payment to sort out delivery or last step but missing the money to close it due to emergency? Idk), it just seems like a way to potentially rack up debt for little good reasons.
For throwing it into MMF and racking the average rm37 ish gains seems like the safest way to get something out of it if not having anything particular in mind for the money, but for the one in ten thousand chance or less that something unfortunate happen, that's 15k that one don't need to owe to begin with for such little gains. Surely for things like racking up things like TnG GO+ promo rates, a little cash or even moving your efund is better than pointless temporary debts?
So I am genuinely trying to understand the perspective of others here, so more opinions welcomed! If anyone don't feel comfortable sharing their usage publicly, DMs are welcomed too. Just trying to learn something from anyone who's willing to teach, broaden my perspectives and all.
yes. some might argue the 0% p.a. gimmicks is a trick by the bank to lure others into the trap.
But if you have confidence of the monthly repayment of RM2.5k or so and even no issue at all in paying back the entire 15k at anytime.
I don't see any problem for that.
Just be very discipline to clear of
ALL credit card statement before due date on a monthly basis.
If one could do above, the interest or any returns from the extra 15k, would be a bonus.
Do you know businesses are being charged interest by bank for such cash i.e revolving credit trade line.
Of course there are risk involved eg. forget of payment of statement balance before due date hence incur the hefty 18% p.a interest,
But think of that -> even you DID NOT take up this 15k, you still exposed to the same risk of forget the clear off all statement balance before due date.
and yes,
I do take up the 15k cash from credit card offered by RHB 0% for 12 months for new cardholder.
